They're good starting points for research. I agree that it was an interesting point, I guess I just always shy away when someone introduces any sort of Wiki info.
i didnt say it was authoritative nor do i agree with much of it, just seemed relevant. Or maybe interesting was a better word. I think there's very little thats authoritative in terms of arguments on art and design, i guess thats why so much is referred to as theory. I find Wiki pages interesting though, the way opinions on them shift, the way they are constructed.
and i'm pretty sure you can catch the edge of the paper in the image if you look at the larger pic, and thus determine that it is a digital poster. nice guys...
well, i find some details i disagree with in the wiki-def.
as for for the "art" , it reminds me of keith herzick (drunk, maybe). actually, it doesn't look like keith's work at all.
but, if this was printed up and posted like benc sez, then, whoa! good'n, dood. it's one twisted poster you got there.
excellent.
I found this quote on Wikipedia that seemed relevant. ‘A poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically posters include both textual and graphic elements, although they may be either wholly graphical or wholly textual. Posters are designed to be eye-catching and convey information. They are a frequent tool of advertisers, propagandists, protestors and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for reproductions of artwork. They may be about a particular subject for educational purposes. Posters may be any dimension.’ (Accessed June ’08). Tis edited down to the bits i liked.
Not sure i agree with the vertically hung bit mind...
ok, that's fair.
i called bullshit and you (after insulting me) explained your position. that's fair.
if you could avoid the jackass routine in the future, it would work better.
I would think anything that would draw attention to the performance in question, printed on paper in any medium, whether singular or in an edition could be technically deemed a poster.
phoon -
then what you are thinking is that anybody can post anything and call it a poster and it's legit, right?
of course, it's gotta have band names and date/[place/etc.
well, i gotta question whether this is a poster at all or is it a scribble on a napkin scanned and submitted as if it was a legit poster.
can anybody tell me whether this was a real poster?
is any image a poster if you just say it's a poster? or does it have to be "posted" in multiples? where is the line?
